TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Mine has the 2.8" pulleyboys setup and TRD Flash. Makes 6-6.5 psi of boost.

On long 3rd and 4th gear pulls it runs about 12.5 and starts to get richer approaching redline. Not nearly as rich as other guys have reported. More like 11.0 or so.

We'll see what it does when I go to the 2.5" pulley.

jba shorties with stock cats
stock Y-pipe with cats
trd exhaust
1st gen trd intake
aeromotive fuel pump
No FPR mod

 

U going 2.5 and fpr mod?

 

Well, I'm gonna do the pulley/belt/tensioner and then drive it. If I see it going lean, I'll boost reference the FPR and see what it does.

 

So if I go Ucon I’ll need a bigger fuel pump and injectors and no fpr mod, right?

 

Correct on not referencing the FPR. If you have the TRD injectors and have already upgraded your fuel pump you should be good. At some point you will need to compensate with fuel upgrades for a smaller pulley.

I had a nice pull this weekend with temps ~25F. Hit 9.23 lbs! Near sea level. 91 octane, no corn.
UCON
2.825 pulley
AFE intake
AFE headers
Pipe bomb y pipe
home made 3" cat back

Really wanting a re-gear to 4.88s so I can really use this power.
Running 34s and will have 35s next.

Also, I usually run 93 with ethanol but like to experiment. I don't think I have seen over 8.5 lbs on that.
Whats the consensus on the option between 93 with ethanol verse 91 no ethanol?

 

Wow, what's your elevation?

 

I like this very much. glad to see you going smaller finally another day of trimming at your house?? I think it was about a year ago wasnt it? lol

Thanks Jake! Appreciate you chiming in!

 

Lol!

 

You posted about it so much that you talked yourself into getting it.

 

Now the wife’s 80 has an OME lift and a 37 gallon LRA gas tank. Need to remove the limo tint off the back windows. It never ends. Don’t fool yourself.

 

PHX is like 2k’-ish.

 

Those numbers seemed exceptional for that size pulley.

 

Crazy.... less restricted exhaust from longtubes back, stock pulley and 1200 ft I was making 6.5lbs consistently

 

My best peak boost this morning 8.5. Kinda low I thought for a 2.5 pulley at sea level.

 

Hey everyone! Long time lurker here... awesome thread and so much knowledge!
Sorry of this isn't correct to post here, just let me know and I'll move it or whatever.

long story short, might pull the trigger for a supercharger soon, I hope! Sounds like I have the wife's blessing, plus she calls my truck slow. would like to change that! (She has a snappy little forester xt, fun car though! ).

Mainly had a question for @Speedwaytacotuesday and @TodayWasTHeDaY given we're all in calgary.
What are you guys running for tunes? Can't see it in the sig nor do I see any build thread.

The BD tune seems hit and miss, possibly more miss.
Ucon seems quite good but a little pricey. Although through, urd I could save 500(I think) on the sc with the tuner version, offsetting the cost of the ucon a bit.
Ovtune seems fairly good but hit and miss on updates and new, or more refined, tunes.
Trd tune seems quite reliable, but could be hard to find a dealership to do it. Or who knows, I haven't tried calling yet.

Anyway. A good reliable tune is a big holdup for me right now. I tow 3-5 times in the summer, sometimes more, and would hate to be stranded. Or lugging my trailer in limp mode.

Appreciate any thoughts or input. Might be back soon with more questions if that's ok. Tempted to jump on these black Friday deals and want to be sure I make the right moves.

Cheers!

 

Agreed 100%
I see that with 2.85 at sea level to 1000ft

Edit, 8lbs even after looking at some pics... 8.5 on rlly cold nights

 

The struggle is real with tunes available right now
